Discover now which 20 Chevrolet models have suffered the most depreciation this year. 

Let's start with a Chevrolet classic. The Comodoro was and still is an iconic model for the brand, but time hasn't been kind to it in terms of appreciation. Equipped with a 4.1-liter, 121-horsepower gasoline engine, the model had good performance, although it was already fuel-inefficient for its time, averaging 7 km per liter in the city and 9 km per liter on the highway. From 2019 to 2020, it suffered a depreciation of 13,65% and its price is now fixed at around R$ 18,500.

Also known as the Diplomata, the 1990 Chevrolet Opala is unfortunately another of the worst cars for resale from Chevrolet. Very similar to the model we just mentioned, this vehicle is equipped with a 4.1-liter 118-horsepower engine, a 4-speed transmission, and rear-wheel drive, which provides a lot of fun in terms of driving. From 2019 onwards, the model suffered the same depreciation as the previous Comodoro, 13,65%, and its value is now estimated at R$ 7,700.

We've arrived at the first pickup truck on our list, the 2017 S10 LT 2.5 4x4. Strong and functional, this model is equipped with a 2.5 flex-fuel engine producing 206 horsepower, a 6-speed manual transmission, and the option to activate all-wheel drive for rough terrain. Its depreciation in 2020 was 13,90%, and its current value is estimated at around R$77,500.

The 1995 Monza Classic 1.8 is another member of the model series nicknamed "shark," which was very successful during its production years. What particularly caught attention was its powerful 1.8-liter alcohol-fueled engine capable of generating 99 horsepower, allowing it to reach 170 km/h – an "absurd" speed for the time. However, it also had a reputation for being a gas guzzler, achieving less than 7 km/l in the city and not even reaching 10 km/l on highways. With a depreciation of 14,08%, the model is valued at around R$ 3 thousand. 

The Vectra CD was and still is one of Chevrolet's most praised cars and was able to compete with a strong rival from Volkswagen, the Santana. The model was equipped with a 2.2-liter gasoline engine capable of generating 138 horsepower. Its performance was more than satisfactory, and its fuel consumption was considered positive by owners. Furthermore, it rarely presented problems. It suffered a sharp depreciation of 14,22% from last year to this year and today can be found in the range of R$ 11,500.

Here we have another Monza model from the "shark generation," which unfortunately is among the worst Chevrolet cars for resale. This model was equipped with a 2.0-liter gasoline engine, producing 110 horsepower and a top speed of 170 km/h. Being gasoline-powered, its fuel consumption was acceptable for the time, achieving just over 8 km/l in the city and exceeding 12 km/l on the highway. Purists still appreciate it today for its power. Its depreciation was 14,30%, and it can be found in the R$ range for around 7,000.

The Corsa Wagon was a station wagon that greatly pleased its owners, who claimed it was a strong and functional model that required little maintenance and only "complained" a bit when heavily loaded with all occupants and a full trunk. With a 1.6 gasoline engine and 102 horsepower, the model admirably fulfilled its purpose. Its depreciation was 14,30% and today it can be found for values close to R$ 8,500.

The 2004 Vectra CD 2.2 is another successful Chevrolet model that continues to thrive. There have been few changes to the model over the years; a 2004 version also had an automatic transmission. Equipped with a 2.2 engine capable of generating 138 horsepower, its torque and power are noteworthy today. However, its depreciation of 14,34% places it among the worst Chevrolet cars for resale. It's possible to find one in the R$ range for around 18,000.

Continuing with the Vectra series, we now have the 1998 model, which also looks very similar to others of its generation, but from different years. The engine is also a 2.2-liter gasoline engine capable of generating 138 horsepower. Like its "siblings" from newer and older versions, the torque and speed are also noteworthy, and fuel consumption, even in the city, is adequate for a car of this size. The depreciation in 1 year was 14,391 TP3T and its value today is estimated at around 11,000 R$. 

The 2004 Corsa Sedan Classic was another highly successful Chevrolet utility vehicle; so much so that keen observers can still find examples in good condition today. Equipped with a 1.0 gasoline engine, it has an average power of 70 horsepower, which may be a drawback for those living in mountainous regions. Maintenance is not expensive, and fuel consumption is good for a car over 15 years old, achieving 11 km/l in the city and 15 km/l on highways. Its depreciation was 14,46% and its price today is in the range of R$ 12,500.

The 2007 Omega CD Fittipaldi 3.6 was a luxury model from the manufacturer that didn't achieve the success many expected. Equipped with a powerful 3.6-liter gasoline engine producing 258 horsepower, the automatic transmission perhaps hampered its chances of demonstrating its performance. Furthermore, fuel consumption was another negative point, averaging 7 km/l in the city and 11 km/l on the highway. The model stalled, and its depreciation of 14,66% makes it considered one of the worst Chevrolet cars for resale. It's possible to find models costing around R$ 33,000. 

The Trailblazer is a model that marked an era, but didn't achieve good sales figures. Equipped with a 2.8-liter diesel engine producing 200 horsepower and a 6-speed automatic transmission, it was considered a great option, but was literally crushed by the strong competition from SUVs that currently dominate the Brazilian automotive market. With a depreciation of 15,15%, the model is now sold in the range of R$ 115 thousand. 

Here we have another example of a "shark" Monza on the list of the worst Chevrolet cars for resale. The engine in question is a 2.0 gasoline engine capable of generating 110 horsepower. Like the other Monza models we've shown, this one also reaches high speeds, but with high fuel consumption. The depreciation from 2019 to 2020 was 15,26%, which sets the vehicle's value in the range of R$ 6,600.

Although they were great cars in their time, time is often cruel to Monzas, especially nowadays where fuel consumption is a major consideration for many people. Equipped with a 2.0 gasoline engine producing 99 horsepower, it offered excellent performance for its time. Depreciation is also high, reaching 15,36%. Today it's possible to find examples priced around R$ 6,500.

The Corsa Wind was a great model. popular appeal The Chevrolet Wind was launched to compete with its main rivals of the time, the Gol and the Uno, and it did well in this fight, showing good sales figures. Maintenance costs and good fuel consumption were hallmarks of this small, popular car with a 1.0-liter, 50-horsepower engine. Its only weakness was its modest performance, even for the time. The Wind suffered a depreciation of 15,44% in one year, bringing its value close to R$ 6 thousand. 

The Captiva is yet another on the list of the worst Chevrolet cars for resale. Although the manufacturer's idea was good, in practice it didn't work because it faced a lot of competition at the time, with cheaper models, mainly from Hyundai. The 2.4 gasoline engine with automatic transmission also didn't help, since most models were flex-fuel. The depreciation from 2019 to 2020 was 16,271% (approximately US$10,000). Today it's possible to find examples for around R$65,000 (approximately US$10,000). 

The 1993 Monza Classic 2.0 is the last example of the Monza model on the list of the worst Chevrolet cars for resale. Equipped with a 2.0 gasoline engine producing 110 horsepower, the 1993 Classic 2.0 offered similar performance to its "siblings" with strong torque and good top speed, but it was also fuel-inefficient. Its depreciation from 2019 to 2020 was 16,45%, and today the model can be found for prices in the range of R$ 7,500.

The Chevette was launched with the aim of being a popular, functional model with low maintenance costs, and it fulfilled all of that promise perfectly. It's a well-liked and beloved model by many people, but it's not a good idea to buy it for resale, since its depreciation in one year reached 17,63% and its current list price is estimated at around R$ 7,500.

The Corsa Sedan Classic 1.6 automatic was a rather bold move by Chevrolet at the time, as it equipped a popular model with a more powerful engine, in this case a 1.6 engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission. Due to its composition, the model was more expensive and had questionable fuel consumption, and it didn't appeal to consumers. Nowadays, people avoid the model because of fears about the need for transmission maintenance. The model's depreciation in one year was 17,84%, which allows you to find models in the price range of R$ 14 thousand. 

And finally, we arrive at what is the worst Chevrolet car for resale, the Corsa GSI 1.6. The model was a good bet for the manufacturer at the time, as it was equipped with a stronger and more functional gasoline engine with 108 horsepower. This gave the vehicle good performance combined with good fuel economy. But as shown, time tends to be cruel to vehicles, contributing to their depreciation. In this case, the model depreciated by 19,481 TP3T and can be found for values around 9,500 TP4T.
